Population ecology has matured to a sophisticated science with
astonishing potential for contributing solutions to wildlife
conservation and management challenges. And yet, much of the
applied power of wildlife population ecology remains untapped
because its broad sweep across disparate subfields has been
isolated in specialized texts. In this book, L. Scott Mills covers
the full spectrum of applied wildlife population ecology, including
genomic tools for non-invasive genetic sampling, predation,
population projections, climate change and invasive species,
harvest modeling, viability analysis, focal species concepts, and
analyses of connectivity in fragmented landscapes. With a readable
style, analytical rigor, and hundreds of examples drawn from around
the world, "Conservation of Wildlife Populations (2nd ed)" provides
the conceptual basis for applying population ecology to wildlife
conservation decision-making. Although targeting primarily
undergraduates and beginning graduate students with some basic
training in basic ecology and statistics (in majors that could
include wildlife biology, conservation biology, ecology,
environmental studies, and biology), the book will also be useful
for practitioners in the field who want to find - in one place and
with plenty of applied examples - the latest advances in the
genetic and demographic aspects of population ecology.Additional
